PRESCOTT AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MEMORIAL DAY CHICKEN FEED
MAY 31st, 2010
11:00 - 3:00
PRESCOTT VISITOR CENTER/ FREEDOM PARK
Welcome to beautiful Prescott Wisconsin, home of the St. Croix and Mississippi confluence!
Once again, spring has arrived in full force; beautiful warm weather, the trees and plants are already leafed out and in full bloom, the eagles are soaring through the blue sky, the fishing opener has come and gone, and soon school will be done for another year.
While it seems that there are an awful lot of bad things happening in this great nation of ours, and you get the sense that no one wants to be bothered anymore, here in Prescott, every Memorial Day, we like to slow down, get together, and honor those that have given us the opportunities we take for granted every day. Take a moment to think about what this world would be like if these men and women had not given their time, talents, and lives for their country. The least we can do in return is stand behind them and honor the ones that have given their lives as we cannot change the past, or stop the future.
This Memorial Day, come and take a drive through the beautiful St. Croix Valley area starting in Prescott and follow the "Great River Road," and bring your camera! If you are real adventurous, the Freedom Park Visitor and Learning Center will be holding their 1st "Memorial Mile Run," which will start at the Freedom Park Pavilion (registration starts at 7:15 a.m./ $5.00 per person/ run starts at 8:00 a.m./ for further information go to http://www.freedomparkwi.org/). Then we would love to have you stay for our Memorial Day parade which starts at 10:00 a.m., winds through Prescott, and ends at a gorgeous spot in front of Pine Glen Cemetery followed by a commencement speech and 21 gun salute. After shedding a few tears, relax and come and join us for the Prescott Chamber of Commerce Chicken Feed - food provided by Ptacek's and their award winning grill - we would love to have you with us! While at the park, you can visit the learning center and have desert with them and celebrate their anniversary, watch the rivers converge, and catch glimpses of the eagles soaring - what more could you ask for!
